In this film, people keep thinking about who is Charlie, whether Emily is nervous, and whether David, a psychologist, can heal his daughter’s illness, as well as the sneaky landlord, the neighbour and the protagonist who behave secretly. What's the matter and so on. In the last ten minutes, when the answer is revealed, there will be a feeling of speechlessness-
David is Charlie, and the psychologist has a mental illness. At a banquet, he found that his wife had an affair with a strange man, so under the influence of jealousy, he crushed his wife to death with a pillow, and then pulled him to the bathtub, making the illusion of suicide. I remember Teacher Chenhui said that people will deliberately forget some things when they are unusually unwilling. Sure enough, David in the film chose to forget what he did. Every time he killed someone, he would wake up at 2:06 in the morning and become his father. Because he is too afraid of losing, so no one can get it. This is what David said in his heart. The most essential selfish side of man is revealed. After his wife's death, David's betrayal left deep harm to David. He transferred his feelings to his daughter, and he wanted to make himself the only friend of his most cherished daughter. At the end of the film, when Charlie was going to strangle a female colleague, Emily shouted, "don't hurt her, she is my friend". At this time Charlie said, "friend? I guess I am your friend!" He hoped that his daughter was only him. This only friend, whether it is an animal (a domestic cat), a toy (a doll) or a person (Elizabeth Yang), there is only one way out, which is death.
Knowing that Charlie does exist, Emily's behavior is not so nervous. On the contrary, I think this girl is a bit pitiful. Since she was a child, only her mother played with her. After the death of someone close to her, her spirit was empty for a while. Charlie entered her life at this time and played hide-and-seek with her. She became the most helpless one to rely on. After winning her trust, Emily kept her promise. No matter what her father asked, she never said it. Who was Charlie, and when she knew that Charlie had violated the law, she didn't call the police, she didn't directly point out the murderer, but just wrote suggestive words on the bathroom wall...until her faith was shattered. At the end of the film, Emily lives in the Children's Psychiatric Hospital and drew a picture. The two-headed Emily is smiling... The
film is still good, and it gives people the idea of watching it in one breath. But the theme is a bit vague, what does it show? People can't really hope to keep a relationship forever. No matter who they are, they should keep a proper distance. Otherwise, the deep love and the deepest hate make it easy to go astray?
Finally, I think there are still some things that are not clearly explained in the film. For example, David told a female colleague, I hope Emily can have a happy childhood, not like me. It seems that I want to introduce that my neurological injury is related to certain behaviors in my childhood, but later proved not. The neighbors and the couple behaved abnormally. David saw them arguing hysterically with a telescope in the middle of the night, and didn't say anything in the end. Emily's attitude towards Charlie was not very natural. He started to be happy to count 100,000 and 200,000 to play the game. Later, without any signs, she became scared and didn't want to see Charlie again. If these are perfected, great movie!
